Aqara Introduces Versatile Smart Sensors for Home Security and Automation
Aqara has released its first Matter-over-Thread sensor, the Door and Window Sensor P2, which can be integrated into existing Matter-enabled smart homes without the need for an Aqara hub. The sensor uses a magnet to detect if doors or windows are opened or closed, offering various applications such as enhancing security or alerting users to open freezer doors. Aqara's sensor features a nondescript design and comes with adhesive mounting options. The company plans to release a Hub M3 and update its Aqara Home app to support Matter, enabling additional features for the sensor. Aqara is also working on adding Matter support to its existing hubs and has a roadmap for more Thread-enabled smart devices.
